I would like to write down that he's a shih tzu but it's been a week since I started doubting what his breed really is.

You see, unlike Neeto, Noggin was a gift to my by my partner.

My partner really isn't a dog lover and doesn't really care too much about dog breeds. Noggin was bought from a friend, so he doesn't really have papers. So, with nothing but a word that he is a standard shih tzu, I am left wondering.

I think he's a Lhasa Apso.

He doesn't necessarily act like a shih tzu. This early on, he acts like a middle child. He has his own world. He does not listen to me, my mom or my dad. He likes to eat a lot. He likes to play with Neeto, which after a few minutes turns to a fight between them. And he'd eat just about anything you put in his mouth, except for his vitamins.

Yep, he's the problem child in the family.

But I have accepted that it's who he is. Maybe because he's still young (he's a month younger than Neeto). I'm pretty sure one day The Dog Whisperer's tricks will work on him.

I immediately got attracted to his mostly black color.
You don’t really see a lot of black shih tzu’s out there. And besides, shih tzu’s
are girly dogs, so I thought if ever I’d get one, I’d get the one that would
make me look manlier.

He’s a really special dog for me, being that he’s the
first puppy that I ever bought, so he is spoiled by me. I love it that he’s a
natural follower, so he’s not that hard to train or make a “balanced” dog.

The only problem I have with him is that he’s a biter. He
likes to bite us. Although it’s not really hard or it won’t pierce or wound
you, it worries me that some kid might play with him and get bitten. I have yet
to find an episode of The Dog Whisperer where Cesar rehabilitates a dog who
likes to bite.
